Charlie Sheen was one of the record 27.8 million people who watched Ashton Kutcher‘s hotly anticipated Two and a Half Men debut performance last week, and the former star of the show, who was infamously fired from his role as Charlie Harper (for which he was compensated $2.5 million salary per episode), opened up about Ashton’s premiere.

“It was a big night for everybody on Monday night — for Two and a Half, for us, for me,” Charlie told Access Hollywood. “I think everybody won. I thought the show was really good. I thought [Ashton] was terrific.”
